Summary
The world is closing in on 14 year-old Greta Driscoll. A teen at a cross roads, she can{u2019}t bear to leave her childhood behind because it contains all the delightful things that give her comfort in this otherwise incomprehensible world. Existing in a bubble of security alongside only friend Elliott, Greta{u2019}s parents decide to throw her a surprise birthday party where she{u2019}s taken well out of her comfort zone and flung into a strange parallel world of ludicrous circumstances and twisted logic, a place where only she can find herself. A colorful coming-of-age tale set in 1970{u2019}s Australia, featuring funky music and inspired dance sequences GIRL ASLEEP is a bold journey into the absurd, scary and beautiful heart of the teenage mind. Nominated for Best Feature Film in the Generation 14plus competition at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. *"Plays like the love child of Jane Campion and Guy Maddin, an otherworldly quinceañera that celebrates female rites of passage and the hallucinatory power of film." - Serena Donadoni, **Village Voice***
